| <p>Xpand supports several types of meta-metamodels.</p> |
| <p>From older versions, the classic UML metamodels may be known. |
| Currently also JavaBeans metamodels and EMF based metamodels are |
| supported out of the box.</p> |
| <p>Additional metamodel contributors can be registered through an |
| extension point.</p> |
| <p>The editors need to know with what kind of metamodels you are |
| working. Therefore, one can configure the metamodel contributors on |
| workspace and on project level.</p> |

| <p>If you work always with the same type of metamodels, you can |
| specify the metamodel contributors in the global preference page. It is |
| available under Windows --> Preferences in the |
| <span class="emphasis"> |
| <em>Xtend/Xpand</em> |
| </span> section.</p> |

| <p>In the project property page there is also an |
| <span class="emphasis"> |
| <em>Xtend/Xpand</em> |
| </span> section available.</p> |
| <p>Therein you can enable the Xtend/Xpand nature (see below) |
| and set project specific metamodel contributor settings. </p> |
